I never carry an ID. My husband has his license & car rental contract. Someone told me I could be in trouble if stopped by the police even as a passenger. I would carry some sort of identification at all times. What happens if you are in a serious accident? Getting proper medical attention or finding out necessary information about you would possibly not happen.

Honestly, I have NEVER carried an ID with me on SXM, unless I am driving, which is pretty rare. I don't know if you are supposed to carry ID or not on SXM. But I will tell you that I don't carry a purse on SXM and I am not about to start..

Yep, same here. I know way too many adults who carry ZERO cash and rely solely on credit or debit cards. I think carrying some form of ID is a wise thing to do regardless of where one is.

No idea but it would be better than not carrying any ID.
Are you going to be on the island in March?

Taking a picture is a great idea. You never know, it could help out if your documents got lost or stolen also.

I don't know how you would access that cloud if stopped by the authorities but another backup is a good backup...unless the cloud is hacked by someone.,,,
...and, I forgot to mention, on Saturday, the Gendarmarie were stopping cars on both sides of the road from Orient heading towards Grand Case (right after the roundabout). They had 2 cars stopped on each side and were checking papers and, in one case, looking in the trunk
